[QUOTE="orchidlady, post: 317792, member: 48206"] Dear all, Am newly diagnosed, have been taking all you lovely people's wonderful advice bought the BG machine reduced carbs, trying to do more excercise but nothing seems to be changing, average fasting readings are around 16, during the day 2 hours after eating can be high as anywhere between 12 and 19. Have had long chat with nurse today and she feels the way forward is to start on Metformin. Really really hate the thought of taking drugs but cannot stay at these levels I know and the diet changes just does not seem to be working. Worried about any side effects, will it make me put on weight? make me feel ill. Despite the BS levels, I feel extremely well, am not over weight and have loads of energy [/QUOTE]
